There once was a time when VB did not put on airs, thinking itself to be a little language it was great. And then they tried to make it into more than it should be and everything got fouled up.
1. How do i make an untyped array on the fly?
VB6: Array(x,y,z,q) and you had an array parameter.
2. Why is Dim X()() different from Dim X(,). I want to have a variable defined as such:
Dim X()() = {{"1", "2"}, {"3", "4"}}
BUt that doesn't work. I have to do DIm X(,) and then it does...but guess what...vb thinking itself to be something of power, decides that I subsequently can't do this:
CallProc(X(0)) <-- THis says there aren't enough indicies. BS. I want the first array of the multi-dimensional array. If I dim X()() i can do this, but then i can't initialize the array in one statement like the above line.
What happened to VB when it used be simplistic and straightforward. It was limited, to be sure...BUT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO Be.
Why Does Array.Resize() never work? I always have to use redim. Which is fine, but it seems pointless to have an object method that exists but doesn't work.
How do you "add" a line to a multiline textbox? THere is no TextBox1.Add("") i have to do TextBox1.Text = TextBox1.Text & vbCrLf & NewString That is annoying.
How can i initialize a Structure (not a class). I have multi nested structures because I'm sorry classes are just way too much overkill for the level of simplistic application I want to write, but I can't do it.
No matter what method i use I have to do some excruciatingly long drawn out line by line initialization of ever field.
Where can I find a simple, easy, and CLEAR description of these basic fundamentals to the most offensive language ever created (because naturally as they updated VB to .Net, they also updated msdn to suck too)

ps - I apologize for my attitude, but C - C++ wasn't this bad. Pascal to Delphi wasn't this bad. But VB to VB.NEt has complete destroyed all that was good with the language.
